So here is my little big HSC 5 predicion
Group A: 
NerchioHe is the favorite to win the group. Although he struggles a bit with ZvP, he should be able to top the group with pure skill and the power of Zerg.
Socke,
ToD
Both are fighting for the 2nd spot. Socke might be the favorite here cause he seems to always do well at major tournaments, but ToD is not to underestimate and overseen quite often
Naama
i give naama the least chances and therefore the last stop. didnt see much of him lately, but his SCVs are always dangerous. could surprise, but is expected to be last.
Group B: The most balanced group overall. Pretty hard to judge, but ill do it anyway
IdrAI take IdrA to top the group. Not because of his last results obviously, but he seems well prepaired for homestorycup (went 5 days early to europe to overcome jetlag and be better prepared). Also, he trained quite hard lately. I simply hope he can show what he got.
ClouD I call ClouD to make the 2nd rank. Not only is he quite solid and showed decent games in the past months, but also is Take's place his 2nd or 3rd home.
Bly,
BlinG
Well, im not very sure with those 2. Bly showed amazing results in the last few weeks, but most of his games have been quite "gimmicky" if i might say so. Also, he is a last minute invite and might be the least prepaired (well, he probably plays the whole day anyway :D ). Many ppl call out BlinG now because of his performance at WCS UK, but i dont think ppl should overrate this. he still has chances to make it out of the group - he could 3-0 or 0-3 honestly, just like Bly.
Group C:
Ret,
HappyOne of those 2 to top the group. Ret might have the slight edge here cause he has more "sc2 lan experience", but Happy can be a beast and i hope he can show his real skill to some ppl out there. Ret for one, Happy for two probably
ReaL
Well, I'm not quite sure about ReaL honstely. he can surprise ppl and stomp the group or play 1 base warpprism DT drop in all 6 games and go 1-6 or whatever in maps. He is pretty much a high skilled darkhorse just like bly.
iNcontroL
I like incontrol and his play is quite solid. But i think this level of play is slightly too much for him. i have him as 4th place in this group sadly.
Group D: SaSe Probably the favorite to top the group. Amazing results lately (although he "underperformed" a bit at Dreamhack... at least for a top 5 foreigner that is
), not much to say here.
DIMAGADimaga somehow always plays amazing at Lan events and can beat anyone, even SaSe. Therefore, i pick him as solid 2nd place in the group.
DarKFoRcE,
GoOdy
The two germans in this group have it pretty rough. Darkforce can be pretty skilled and take out huge names, especially on Lan (see his win vs MKP at WCG), but he also played quite some D3 and is currently hard to judge. You never know with our Panzergeneral man. He can lose to random123 or roll over nestea with his tanks. his tvp is quite solid with BIO now (ye, stimp is no autoloss anymore). We will see
Group E:
MC President toss, HSC IV Champion, BossToss. 6-0 ezpz.
HasuObs,
TLO
Well, its a bit of a rivelry i might say? There is quite often bets going on when those 2 ppl meet - and HasuObs seems to have the better end of it always. We will see who takes it this time in the group. But i still see HasuObs as the more solid player and give him the 2nd rank therefore.
Tarson
Tarson was once one of the top european terrans, but then went more or less inactive for quite some time. He improves slowly again, but i dont think he is on the level he needs to be yet. The drunken Terran will still give us a good time watching HSC5
Group F: MaNa,
Kas,
Sleep
How can i predict this group ffs. i probably couldnt find more evenly matched ppl of different races... Well... i go with MaNa to top the group. Just cause he won dreamhack and might have a run. And Kas the 2nd - because i like him and hes a foreigner
But i honestly have no idea who wins the group. I know one thing though!
Destiny
I like destiny and im super happy he makes it to homestory cup again. but i dont see him having a chance in that hard group :/
Group G: YongHwaHe won the korean qualifier, therefore he should be pretty much untouched. Am i right?^^ I dont think he will have an easy time, but he should top the group nontheless.
sLivko,
Sheth
Most ppl would probably say that Sheth is the more accomplished and skilled player. BUT. sLivko probably has the best ZvZ in europe (at LEAST top 3). I think this might give him the slight edge over mannerbear Sheth. sLivko is pretty damn good. Still happy Sheth makes it to HSC5 and he obviously has a shot.
DBS
DBS might not be known to many ppl, but he performs pretty well nationally and in online tournaments. He is pretty solid and innovative in his strategies, a hard worker and "one of the few terrans who builds SCVs - i dont like to play those guys" - Axlav. He dont see him making it out of the group, but quite some ppl will be surprise about his play.
Group H: MVPMVP.
Golden,
NightEnD,
monchi
Im not quite sure who will take the first of 3 spots in this group. Golden is a pretty good korean zerg and qualified via (na) qualifiers - former SlayerSGolden obviously. Mickey "NightEnD" Mouse trained in korea and did pretty well in the korean GM ladder (which is an accomplishment in itself). He is incredibly solid and extremly passive. monchi is probably the least known out of those 3, but he has sick timings in PvZ and quite good PvP. i have no idea how to call that 3 man group, ill just give it to the korean, cause they (usually) own white dudes.
EPT
but hey... :D
